Georgia Department of Transportation roadwork on Ga. 347 will split traffic between lanes from Spout Springs Road to Williams Road in Brasleton, beginning Tuesday, Aug. 18, weather permitting. Drivers will use one lane on each side of the median.

“Please focus on driving and slow down in the work zone especially as this change occurs,” said Brent Cook, GDOT district engineer serving Hall County. “Splitting traffic allowing one lane to run on each side of the median gives the contractor room to finish building the new concrete median. After median work is finished, crews will start laying the top layer of asphalt.”

E.R. Snell Contracting Inc. of Snellville is the contractor for this 7.97-mile long, $38.4 million project. Construction should be complete by Jan 12.
